Applying the Four Resources Model across Learning Domains Adapted from Luke and Freebody – Wellington SC. Literacy practices in Mathematics Code breaker Decoding and encoding the codes and symbols of written, spoken and visual texts — for example: recognising different types of content words belonging to the subject (e.g. cosine, rhombus); used in mathematics and in everyday English with different meaning (e.g. ray, product, term, concurrent); meaning different things in mathematics (e.g. square, simplify); having a consistent meaning in mathematics (e.g. calculate, find, work out, compute) using symbols: numerals conveying different meanings in different spatial positions (e.g. 3 + ½; 3½); the symbol ‘=’ can be for equations and identities; different symbols conveying the same mathematical concept (e.g. ///, ~ for ‘similar to’) recognising adjectives that carry a high load of conceptual and abstract meaning (e.g. rational/negative/mixed/prime/even number), and denoting quantity (e.g. greater, less, more) using prepositions to take on different meanings — for example, 10 is divided by 5, 10 is divided into 5, 10 is divided into 5 equal parts; the temperature increased to 5 degrees, the temperature increased by 5 degrees, the temperature increased from 5 degrees using different ways of expressing information: symbolic (e.g. 3 + 4 = 7); formal (e.g. the sum of three and four is seven); informal (e.g. three apples and four apples makes seven apples) recognising that the order in which information is presented is often at odds with the order in which it is processed in mathematics — for example, take 6 from 12; the number 5 is less than what number? Meaning Maker Comprehending and composing written, spoken and visual texts — for example: interpreting questions that are often more complex than the underlying number facts —for example, Mary is 35 years older than Tom. Fred is half the age of Mary. Judy is 17 years older than Fred. If Judy is 35, how old is Tom? interpreting statements coding multiple concepts — for example, the number in the difference column is added to the right-hand end of the figure interpreting the same words that mean different things because they are used in different ways — for example, which number is three more than 5? five is how many more than 3? five is three more than which number? interpreting the meaning of syntactic patterns used in different ways — for example, sixty is half of what number? Half of sixty is what number? interpreting information by linking symbol, prose and diagram interpreting sections of peripheral writing which include introductions, summaries, reminders, comments interpreting headings, exercise numbers, boxed or shaded areas, logos exercise books interpreting graphic information in diagrams, tables, charts and graphs comparing and ordering populations of different countries in terms of number classifying different shapes according to features stating principles as applied to theorems hypothesising to solve estimation problems identifying groups and sets of numbers.

Text user Understanding the purposes of different written, spoken and visual texts, and using texts in different ways for different cultural and social functions — for example: constructing timelines, story maps, semantic webs or flow charts to represent events or the organisation of information in printed and visual texts using narratives — for example, to write an imaginative story with a story-line in which interrelated events clearly solve a problem 2 using transactions — for example, to negotiate goods and services through print media advertising such as catalogues, billboards, signs, magazine and newspaper advertisements using procedures — for example, to follow a series of interrelated steps according to written and visual instructions such as a cooking video or a recipe to make a pizza using reports — for example, to follow an accident report which requires close attention to sequence and detail using expositions — for example, to synthesise information from different sources and to express points of view. Text analyst Understanding how texts differentially position readers, viewers and listeners — for example: discussing varying reactions to narrative texts in which male and female roles are reversed differentiating the emotive effects and cultural meanings of images and symbols in commercial advertising considering the interests, needs and backgrounds of potential readers — for example, anticipating the response of readers to sexist or racist language and subject matter comparing political allegiance evident in a speech or an interview analysing divergent interpretations of the same facts presented in different texts — for example, documentaries, current affairs programs, interviews, reports, brochures, newspaper articles discussing the various ways that people may be represented in texts — for example, discussing activities in which males and females, older and younger people might engage Literacy practices in Health and Physical Education Code breaker Decoding and encoding the codes and symbols of written, spoken and visual texts — for example: spelling technical terminology — for example, processed food, additives, adolescence, puberty, movement, locomotion recognising words that describe the additives on processed food packaging — for example, sugar, flavour enhancers, anticaking agents, colour using verbs at the beginning of commands in a set of instructions using simple present tense in a report — for example, puberty occurs when… recognising explicit conjunctions which express cause and effect relationships — for example, because, so.

Literacy practices in LOTE In Languages other than English (LOTE), the text structures and features may be quite different to those that relate to the English language system. The culture in which the text has evolved will determine the language patterns and conventions used. Students will need to be explicitly shown how to organise their texts in the target language.
